Sen. Lindsey Graham has become a staunch defender of President Donald Trump in recent years, but some of his old comments on the issue of obstruction sound a lot different than what he’s saying today. “No collusion and no obstruction,” Graham said after Attorney General William Barr released his summary of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

Graham, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, also said on Thursday that he has no plans to call on Mueller to testify about the investigation.
